Millions of Halloween costumes end up in waste - why not rent yours this year instead?
Let's make spooky season a little more sustainable.
For some, Halloween is one of the most highly-anticipated dates on the yearly calendar. Between the parties, dress-ups and abundance of sweets, we can understand why it has been branded as an exceptionally fun holiday. However, did you know that Halloween is also responsible for the creation of an incredible amount of waste?
According to Fashion United, in 2019 around 39 million people in the UK dressed up for Halloween, and of that 39 million, an estimated 7 million costumes ended up as waste. Halloween may be branded as a 'spooky season,' but we never thought we'd find its statistics quite so unnerving.
This year, why not opt for a more sustainable solution and rent your Halloween costume instead?
For the fashion-inclined, there are plenty of options available from the likes of peer-to-peer rental app By Rotation or fashion rental app HURR, all you need is a little imagination. Whether you want to emulate Paris Hilton's unforgettable 21st birthday look or recreate Jennifer Lopez's iconic red-carpet appearance at the 2000 Grammy Awards, you're just a few searches away from a Halloween costume guaranteed to impress.
Renting your Halloween costume is a guilt-free way to enjoy the holiday. You can create an entirely new look while knowing you're not adding to landfill or wear-once, throw-away culture.
